Program Chair 2017-2019

We cordially invite you to the 12th Biennial ISAKOS Congress in Cancun, Mexico. The ISAKOS Congress continues to be considered the premier international meeting, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to share, discuss and learn the latest advancements in arthroscopy, knee surgery and sports medicine.

The five-day ISAKOS Congress includes a myriad of educational opportunities. The meeting provides a variety of new and cutting edge surgical techniques and approaches to clinical management, combined with overviews of current controversies in orthopaedic practice.

Abstracts will be considered for both podium presentations and electronic posters. In addition, exceptional abstracts will be considered for several ISAKOS Awards for outstanding clinical or laboratory research.

The city of Cancun was just a small sand barrier some 35 years ago. It has since blossomed into one of the most popular vacation destinations. Cancun consists of a medium-sized coastal city and a long, thin island connected to the mainland through bridges at its north and south ends. It is home to world-class resorts, clubs, shopping malls and of course, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Cancun offers something for everyone, and we hope you will join us there. A variety of Congress social events will also be offered including a Welcome Reception, a spouse and guest program and tour assistance.

You are a vital part of the 12th Biennial ISAKOS Congress! We hope you will plan to participate in the international experience that is the ISAKOS Congress.
